Ramakrishna Ananda relates two stories that illustrate how we unnecessarily hold onto our troubles. The first, involving a bullet, is from his early childhood. The second, involving a kite, is a classic yoga story. These parables teach us that, once aware, we can often let go of what is causing our misery.
I did dispose of the bullet and my anxieties went away. I found that lesson to be true throughout my life. Am I holding onto something that’s causing me anxiety, conflict and difficulty? Is there a way to appropriately dispose of it? Why carry around things that cause you trouble?
We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.
This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.
